    The way Bliss was looking at Roman suggests her possessor in the fiend is going for the title again and will be the 'heel' in the programme

    I'm guessing Braun is too busy dominating Raw Underground to care about the title

    It's been a better build than any of their wrestlemania feuds in recent memory. Fantastic.

    That segment with Jey at the end had so many incredible lines. "Which one is he", and Roman's ending about being the head of the table. Just incredible.

    And pretty easily sets up Roman vs Rock at Mania too, if they want that direction....

    Do they get to approve their entrance graphics? Like did Riddle seriously see the flip flop graphic and say "I like that one"? Makes me think of a woman attacking someone with her shoe.

    Will Sasha now try to sue Beyley like the Miz is suing Otis? Maybe Jey can now sue Roman. Never understand when they do the whole legal thing.

    Speaking of Bayley, clearly she's winning on Sunday. not just because of her feud with Sasha, but because Nikki didn't even make an appearance.

    The ring crew must really hate when they see notes like "We need a load of ladder in and around the ring which must be all taken away after the segment".
    As was said, how stupid was it to have a triple threat match with the same competitors as the title math on Sunday.

    Bliss is awesome and her Sister Abigail's are a 100 times better than any Bray has ever done.

    The thing is, it shouldn't be surprising.

    Its a fresh story, one built on reality, with a lead character that has actually had some massive character development.

    Being honest, we all know the outcome. Reigns is going to murder Jey.

    But we are so starved of character development in WWE, that when they actually dedicate some time to telling a story designed to evolve a character, everyone is thrilled. This match is all about evolving Reign's character.

    I want more of this. Not match after match after match with the same two lads for 12 weeks straight, and at the end, no one has changed, no one has felt an actual impact from the feud.

    Too many characters are in the exact same place they were 10 years ago. Nothing ever happens.

    This? This is something important. Even if one of the major players in the story isn't a main event talent, the story is being presented as fresh and important.

    So do they have Jey get a decent offence in before Reigns just beats him up more than its needed? Or does Reigns dominate from the start?

    He's not a jobber so give him a little offence. If they want to build Roman as a badass heel he can't be selling for 5-10 minutes to Jey Uso.

    Honestly this post is brilliant. I completely agree.

    They’ve finally made Roman interesting and the character development has been brilliant. It’s the best storyline WWE has at the minute and it’s simple booking. Sometimes less is more.

    Has Braun or Bray been on Smackdown since Payback outside of appearing in Alexa segments?

    Loved that opening segment with Roman and Jey. Glad they’re continuing this.

    Probably a sign of the times we are living in, but my main takeaway from the Kevin/ Alexa/ Bray segment was fiend gives kevin the mandible claw then Alexa touches the glovw that was most in another guys mouth 😕

    Safe to say Carmella will be on Smackdown after the draft since they spent the weeks doing her videos on Smackdown.

    Sasha or Bayley to move since they're getting their match out of the way next week?

    They didn't even bother going back after the title

    Clean win over Styles hopefully that means they're keeping an open mind towards Jey. Could be a star.
